Choosing your next set of irons is a highly personalized decision. But we've got you covered, whether you're in the market for a sleek, blade-style club that handles like an Italian sports car, or a more forgiving, hybrid-like entry that's as utilitarian as an SUV. Our band of 40 ClubTesters—average Joes just like you—critiqued 27 new iron models during two weeks of testing at the World Golf Village Resort in St. Augustine, Fla.

The Categories: Better-Player (tested by 1- to 9-handicappers), Game-Improvement (7 to 14) and Maximum Game-Improvement (12 to 23).
